Purdue is definitely the favorite simply because their defense is outstanding compared to the Wildcats defense. Purdue’s stellar defense will down slow Arizona’s excellent offense simply because of the term “Defense wins championships”. Nearly every winner of a football game will end up being the better defensive team, and Purdue holds a great advantage in the area. The offense will be there like it always is for Purdue, but the defense will be the number one key to the Foster Farms Bowl Game. Luckily, Purdue holds the clear advantage based off the team stats.
